Rising Senior Program

Union University's Rising Senior Program is designed for
outstanding high school students who have completed their
junior year and want to "try out" college. Offered during the month of June, this intensive summer program allows
students the opportunity to earn up to 7 semester hours of college credit. Core curriculum classes such as English
composition, college algebra, laboratory science, history and psychology are available at a fraction of normal
tuition costs. Students also have the opportunity to participate in activities outside the classroom, ranging from
community outreach projects to movie nights to student development seminars.

While at Union University, you will experience a strong sense of community and a commitment to academic excellence.
You will study and live with students who desire to deepen their understanding of what it means to live and learn as a Christian.

What Our Students Are Saying

"My time in the Rising Senior program showed me how Union was different from other colleges.
Although my professors were superb, the classes were fun and informative, and the dorms were spacious, the people made all the difference.
The Union community is kind and generous; the driving force behind the interactions between faculty, staff and students is Christ."Brooklin Byrd

For me, the Rising Senior Program was the right choice!"Cody Hobbs
